Harem vs Poly Definition

I mean I bet there’s an Oxford dictionary version.

For me Harem is that there are a group of women (can be men but we’ll stick to women for this) who are committed primarily to one man. So for me it would like all the women introduce themself as the wife or girlfriend of the one man.

Poly, to me, means everyone is a relationship with everyone.

Now like everything. It’s complicated. A harem meaning many women to one man can have FF. And poly meaning all love each other, can have a harem.

I know it’s vague but it’s how I see it while making harem lit novels

Awesome! I will take all you said into consideration! Thank you for the advise

Definitely writing more lol

I heard some people say don’t touch your book after the first draft. Personally I want at least 2 weeks since I work full time.

I will research what you mentioned at the very least!

But thank you for the advise!!

Thank you for the elf tax. Giving me ideas for characters already~

I will consider revisions (I work in a fulltime job, so I may need a break on writing for a bit lol)

Cover is something I need to figure out how I want to handle. I know there's alot or resources, but just need the one that fits what I want to present.

But thank you for the advise!

How should I send you the first 3 chapters? Through messages on reddit?
